      Photoshop question

      I know how to change a photo to black and white, but how to you change it to sepia color? I can't seem to find a way to do it... (and I'm too lazy to google it)

      p.s. I'm running Photoshop CS2

      Do you have CS2?

      If so, go to Image > Adjustments > Photo Filter > And apply the sepia tone

      Ignore that, it only applied a filter.

      ok, thanks anyway. Just out of curiousity... what's the purpose of that filter? I tried it and it doesn't look any different.

      sorry, I'm such a Photoshop n00b.

      It just applies like a colour over top of the image like you would having a filter lens on the camera. It just changes the image tone.

      Well, I'm sure there are more complex methods of more realistic sepia but I'm not aware of them since I don't use Photoshop to edit photos.

      What I can suggest thought is Image -> Adjustments -> Hue & Saturation.
      Click to check "Colorise" and then work with the hue and saturation (as well as light/darkness) to get a brown tone that would be desirable for the sepia effect.

      Since sepia-toning is just another monochromatic scale, first project the image to greyscale with the desired mapping function (If working in photoshop, I prefer the channel mixer myself) and then add sepia-toning with the filter as AdamA suggested, or an adjustment layer to allow different areas to be toned different amounts.

      I think he was just saying...to first convert the image to grayscale...then convert it back to RGB, and then apply the Hue/Saturation -> Colorize feature. That's how I do it. =)
